Costa Rica has established itself as a future semiconductor hub. This is a vision that has received strong support from the US government in recent years. To ensure a reliable supply chain for critical devices, US officials highlight the strategic benefits of having semiconductor components supplied from Costa Rica.
Initially, the Trump administration dispelled doubts by publicly supporting Costa Rica as a key partner in the semiconductor industry. The US State Department’s Business and Economics section issued a message of support highlighting that diversified supply chains can help avoid potential disruptions in semiconductor production. This early support was seen as a vote of important confidence in Costa Rica’s ability to attract investment in this high-tech sector.
This momentum continued during Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s recent visit to Costa Rica. Rubio did not make a direct statement on the topic during his public appearance, but US officials say his tour will strengthen supply chains that are important for both Costa Rica’s growth and the US economic security. It has been confirmed that an evaluation of the developments included. The US Embassy in San Jose strengthened this message, highlighting that relocating essential supply chain elements to the Western Hemisphere could potentially promote economic growth in Costa Rica and its neighbors while protecting American interests.
National authorities welcome these affirmations. “Costa Rica has solidified its position as a strategic partner in the US allies in the semiconductor supply chain,” Minister of Foreign Trade Manuel Toval said on his social media account, highlighting the positive impact of US support. I’m doing it.
Costa Rica’s geographical proximity to the US and its established experience with leading technology companies such as Intel have made it a “safe place” for semiconductor investment. With continued support from both US administrations, Costa Rica is poised to use this support for the region’s tangible economic and technical benefits.
The two countries reaffirm the bonds of friendship and cooperation that unite them, and emphasize the importance of working together to secure critical supply chains and promoting mutual economic growth.
